Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the big day. I am preparing for tomorrow. butterflies. I am the first in my family and so this is uncharted waters. I will be up getting ready at 3:30am to go to the hospital. Praying for a quick release those around me are falling apart. You know women take care of everybody and it gets hard to fight for the time to make your life better.

I was banded june 1st.... Good luck to u! Make sure u have ur gas-x medicine as it will help tremendously with the gas pain. Walk even when u dont feel like u can, it will also make things easier. Do Not rush ur healing! Take this time for u to get better. I did, and was down for extra days. Allow the ones u take care of on a daily basis to take care of u..:o) everyone heals at a differant rate...good luck!

Had the surgery this morning at 7:30, doing pretty well. Have been up walking a few times, the Percocet helps the pain a lot. I do have gas pains in my shoulder though, any suggestions?

Where did you have it done? I'm at Beth Israel in Boston,MA. I guess all drs are different. I'm not too impressed with the hospital at this moment, they asked me to bring my cpap machine and here it is 10:30 and respiratory hasn't even hooked it up yet.

I'm afraid that I have an infection by the port. It's only been 5 days since my surgery and the steri strips are still on. My skin is pink around the area. My fiancé thinks its an allergic reaction to the tape that was used. Has anyone else had this problem?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
